(1) In first grade he kicked and punched another for calling him the N-word. And he continued the same violence through high school. Yeah, a physical reaction would be very understandable, but this shows a pattern.

(2) While in the academy, in a large van, 2 other officers (cadets?) were talking about (N-word)s. Dorner told them to stop, and they responded they would do it whenever they liked. (They apparently were not referring to Dorner.)

According to Dorner, he went over the front seat, and other officers, to grab the offending idiot by the throat, leading to what sounds like a mêlée in the van.
(He says he should have just shot him in the head.)

This second thing, if true, shows a worsening pattern of violence and the lack of self control, and maybe even the thoughts of committing murder.

Inappropriate behavior in that setting - there are others ways of dealing with it. Especially when still in the Academy.

At this point, assuming all is true, I would have dismissed Dorner from the Academy, and black-balled him from law enforcement. He did not have sufficient self-control to handle life as a street cop. (And taken serious action against the other two, up to dismissal, depending on what actually was being said.)

His actions now bear that opinion out.

This is a cultural issue. Minorities and White people see racism differently. Being call an N****r is to black people is some of the most disrepectful things you can do. You may not feel that the violence was called for but a lot of black people would disagree. If you had called someone a n****r in my old neighborhood, you getting an ass kicking was the least of your concerns.

It also shows you the amount of racism that minorities have to deal with. People think just because America voted in a black president racism is over. Minorities know different. Also, it is unrealistic to think that there was no corruption or racism in any PD.

So, if you show the bottom of your shoe to a Muslim, they are justified in beating you up?

I don't know if showing them the bottom of your shoe has a similar meaning and history as the N-word. But if it does....probably so. You ask a Muslim how he feels about it after you do it. If in 30 seconds you're still standing upright it may not bother him. If he knocks you on your behind you know not to do it again.

Show people the respect you'd want and you wouldn't have to worry about it.

(PP)- As an ex-Los Angeles police officer killed three people and went on a deadly shooting rampage in a vendetta to punish those he attributed for his firing, California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer pleaded for calm, and asked both law enforcement and civilians to lay down their weapons.

Do you have a bit more credible source for this? Posted what, three days ago and no one in the MSM picked it up?

Onionesque satire. The fact that the author is named "Jimmy Olsentwins" is an indicator.
